The Stucki's: Louisville Slugger Bat Museum ... April 9, 2010

My cousin Matt, his wife, Heather, and their kids came and visited us for a couple of days. We had a great time together. One of the activities we did was to take the 10 kids (our three, plus Matt and Heather's seven) to the Louisville Slugger Bat Museum. This is the factory where a large number of baseball bats are made for major league players among others. We took a tour and saw how the bats are made and then ultimately had 14 mini bats around the house. We also got the chance to pose with bats used by Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle.

Quotes to Remember

We were in Munich and just checking into our Hotel and both the girls needed to go to the bathroom. We all ran upstairs to our rooms and they both bolted into the bathroom. They began to fight over which one was going to use the toilet first. They argue for a few seconds when Katie shouts, "Mom, which one of us do you want to pee their pants?!" (May, 2009)
We were driving home from church last week and I said something like, "We are going to buy a Toyota Sequoia". Suddenly from the back we hear our 4 year old, Ashley, pipe up ... "You killed my Father...Prepare to Die!"...somehow she confused "Toyota Sequoia" with "Inigo Montoya" from the Princess Bride! (May, 2009)
Ashley and I were playing a card game when she says to me, "pause the game, I have to go to the bathroom". This is when I realized the technology gap between my childhood and hers.
I asked Ashley what country she was born in (she was born in Canada). She told me that she couldn't remember, so I tried to give her a hint. I said, "you were born in Cannnn...". To which she immediately exclaimed in triumph..."CANDYLAND!!"
Katie woke us up this morning telling us we needed to get up. Heather told her that her head hurt and she wasn't going to get up yet. Katie responds, "But you don't WALK on your head, so get up!"
